Walton Hyphen Market

Another term for Wal-Mart, used by those who detest it. The term Walton Hyphen Market has six letters in each word, thus forming the Mark of the Beast, 666. This is quite amusing to those who equate The Wal-Mart Corporation to Satan.
Chad: We should protest and get that new Walton Hyphen Market closed down.

Eric: Let's make picket signs, all we need is some cardboard, markers and boards... Hell, we can probably get all that at Wal-Mart and save some time.

Chad: Yeah, then later we can rip-off jokes from Seth MacFarlen and post them on teh interwebz.

next line hyphen

A method to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen inserted between two or more words, such as "hands-on", "brother-in-law", or "state-of-the-art".
It is best to differentiate a dash placed at the end of a line to indicate that a word has been separated into two parts because it did not fit on a line, from a hyphen in a compound word such as "hands-on".

A "compound word" is comprised of two or more words and has a hyphen between each word.

If a line ends in "able-" and the next line says "bodied", readers automatically interpret "able", followed by "body", to mean "ablebodied". Most people do not remember that the correct way to write "ablebodied" is with a hyphen (able-bodied). I call this method to differentiate dashes from hyphens the "next line hyphen".

If the last word on a line of text says "for-", and the first word of the next line says "profit", the logical way to interpret the dash is as being a dash, though in reality, the writer means “for-profit”, not “forprofit”.
